Thesis advisor: Daniel McKaughan / Thesis advisor: Liane Young / The first two-thirds of this project is an in-depth analysis of the contemporary Free Will debate as it revolves around the Libet et al, Soon et al, and Wegner et al (“Helper Hands”) experiments. The last section of the thesis illustrates in detail the following suggestions regarding the future of the Free Will debate: that there be a shift in the fundamental question of the debate, a shift in the analysis of famous neuroscientific experiments, and a shift in the formation of future experiments that test potential elements of free will. / Thesis (BA) — Boston College, 2016. / Submitted to: Boston College.
